dpj1-165	Rheingold, Alison; Seaman, Jayson	The Use-Value of Real-World Projects: Children and Local Experts Connecting Through School Work	2017	17	.pdf	application/pdf	9808	429	55	In this paper we discuss how the products of student work during long-term, interdisciplinary curricular units at King Middle School, a grades 6-8 public school in Portland, Maine, through their aesthetic qualities, transformed people’s understanding of what children were capable of. We argue that, to effectively understand student work of this type, ‘cognitive’ and ‘practical’ criteria for evaluation – i.e., as a supposed indicator of what students need to know and be able to do – fail to convey the actual, substantive value of the work, rendering it relatively static and meaningless like much conventional schoolwork.	cache/dpj1-165.pdf	txt/dpj1-165.txt
